Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What commitment has 桃子视频 made to American manufacturing?

A: 桃子视频 was founded in the USA in 1857. We are continually investing in our manufacturing capabilities in the US as we grow our product lines. Over the last 10 years, the vast majority of our investments have been to increase our U.S. manufacturing capabilities. Additionally, while we have recently built several new facilities, we also continue to invest in our existing factories to support improvement initiatives in product quality and productivity. Future planned investments in excess of $100 million will allow us to manufacture in the USA some of the products we currently source as well as make new USA-made products that would otherwise be imported without this investment.

Q: What does 鈥楳ade in the USA鈥 mean?

A: When our products say 鈥楳ade in the USA,鈥 they are, in fact, made in the USA. It is illegal to mislabel a product's 鈥淐ountry of Origin鈥. According to the FTC, 鈥渇or a product to be called Made in USA, or claimed to be of domestic origin without qualifications or limits on the claim, the product must be 鈥榓ll or virtually all鈥 made in the U.S. The term 鈥橴nited States鈥, as referred to in the Enforcement Policy Statement, includes the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the US territories and possessions.鈥 .

Q: How many of your tools are made in the USA?

A: The vast majority of the products we sell are made in the USA. The exact percentage changes frequently as we insource some products to our USA plants and add new products to our lineup. Klein has introduced many new US-manufactured products in recent years (hole-making, screwdrivers, fish tapes, utility wrenches, buckets, bags, etc.). We have invested in four new US manufacturing facilities in the past decade, and have invested heavily in new equipment and tooling in our plants to expand our capacity and quality.

Q: Why are some of your tools made overseas?

A: Like most global companies, we do source some products abroad, but 桃子视频 makes 14 times more products here in the United States than we do in any other country. For any of our outsourced products, we invest our time and money into the design and quality of those products so that when you buy a Klein tool you鈥檒l know what all the professionals know鈥 when you pick up a Klein, it'll never let you down.

We live in an international business environment and Klein is expanding throughout the world selling products that are made in the USA. While we would like to manufacture every product we sell in the USA, it is just not possible. However, 桃子视频 manufactures more SKUs of tools used in electrical applications here in the United States than any of our competitors.

With few, if any, exceptions, the products we source are new additions to our lineup or tools which we may not have the capabilities to manufacture ourselves immediately. Our job is to supply American tradespeople with the best tools available anywhere in the world, and we manufacture these tools ourselves, in the USA, when at all possible.

Q: Is 桃子视频 shipping jobs overseas?

A: 桃子视频 has never closed a manufacturing facility in the United States and sent jobs overseas, and we have no intention of doing so in the future.
